Don Lemon is interviewing Ro Khanna (Sanders' co-chair)....

...and discussing the new ad about Obama.

Khanna made some comments about it, and Don Lemon responded with a sarcastic laugh.

And now Khanna said he worked on "the President's first campaign in 1996", in reference to Obama. Obama NEVER ran for anything in 1996!!!!!

This is a segment worth looking up tomorrow.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Obama ran for the Illinois State Senate in 1996. However, what are the odds that a member of the U.S. House of Representatives in Vermont in would work on the campaign of someone running for the Illinois State Senate in 1996?

Lots of documented accounts for years to back it up too. Try searching Khanna Obama and you will find a ton of articles mentioning it - going back for years.
